What is an Permaculture Immersion Experience?
An Permaculture Immersion Experience is two gifts at once; on one hand you:

during your stay you will
-Receive a daily tutorial personalized to your environmental learning needs.

Our tutors are trained permaculture educators with many years of experience
How does it work?
You book a specific module from our selection of vacation packages.
You arrive (we can help with the transport)
After you have had time to settle-in we will conduct a brief interview to understand your needs and expectations on this life changing vacation.
Next we will guide you on a tour of the grounds, showing you the in-season produce with indications on how to harvest and use that fresh, live food. This tour also includes an overview of the elements, systems and functioning of our permaculture project.
We will then schedule your personalized workshops for the time that you are on the farm. This scheduling takes into acount your rythms and is conditioned by the time of year
Reviewing the initial interview, your tutors will structure a set of workshops crafted specifically to meet your expectations and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Bosque Humano mean?
Bosque Humano is Spanish for human forest. The idea is that humans can live in their food, participating beneficially in an ecology. The development model for our project is based on the patterns found in a forest.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is the integration of humans into the biosphere through the application of a holistic design process focused on human settlements and the re-orientation of human activity.
How big is Bosque Humano?
Presently BosqueHumano occupies 20,000 square meters. Additionally we are co-founders of a province-wide network composed of hundreds of individuals and projects.
Do you operate all year round?
Yes our micro-climate permits year-round outdoor living. We reach 5ºC in winter and above 30ºC in summer.
What should I pack?
Depending on the time of year and what you are accustomed to you should pack for Malaga weather. In winter you will need a coat and boots, long pants and rain gear (if we are lucky). In summertime you can wear almost nothing.
We provide everything for your stay, so you just need to pack your clothes, a lantern, and sunscreen.
Are there mosquitoes?
Yes, while not overwhelming they are common from May until October. Our recommendation is to pack some lightweight linen or cotton pants and long-sleeve shirts for the evenings. All of our accommodations are protected with screens and the beds may be complemented with mosquito netting if need be.
Are there any dangerous animals in your area?
No. In the mountains you may encounter wild-boar, or vipers, but on our farm these animals are not present. Don’t worry about the chickens.
Are there places to visit while we are there?
We are 30 minutes from the sea and many guests will make a day trip to enjoy the sand and salty water.
Through our town run 7 different rivers. There are several nice secluded swimming holes. One of these swimming holes is called Barranco Blanco, which is a natural wonder of geology and a recommended hike itinerary.
We are located 30 minutes from the city of Málaga and 30 minutes from the famous coastal town of Marbella.
Permaculture Immersion Experience
Our goal is to bring permaculture into the lives of as many people as we can, in our area and also to the world.
By staying with us you will come to see our world in a different way.
By booking a course or an experience with us you will be directly changing the course of history.
